I’m trying to show snippets of the 3 latest posts (from any category) as a 3-column responsive layout on a 1 page site using the Genesis sample theme. I tried using the Genesis Featured Posts plugin but this won’t allow me to use columns. I am trying to avoid doing this via CSS nth items and would like to apply the ‘one-third’ and ‘one-third first’ divs via a function.

If you have only 3 items, it’s pretty easy to use css to make each item 33.33%. That should do the trick. You might have to play around with the padding. You wouldn’t have to use nth-of-type unless you plan to have multiple rows.

Thanks, but in order to use the Genesis column classes I would need to apply column specific CSS rules ‘one-third’ ‘one-third first’. I was hoping to do this entire task via function rather than using the widget and adding additional CSS.
